When the Packards approached us to help them with branding their new thrift store, they knew they wanted to help the community, but not exactly how to make it all work. We collaborated with them to come up with the name, branding and a highly effective business model for creating the most benefit.

In just a little over 2 years, Full Circle has given away an average of $15,000 a month to select local nonprofits. Additionally, we worked with them to brand another program, Cash for Local Change, which encourages consumers to use cash at select businesses who in turn donate 1% of those cash sales back to the Full Circle nonprofits for additional revenue needs.

We are thrilled to be a part of this organization, and see them grow and support many nonprofits in need.

We joke that this was our biggest project ever. At over 30 feet long, I guess it is. In addition to leading our clients through an intensive naming process, we developed all the imagery for signage and the buses themselves. The original bus wraps were more decorative invoking natural themes—aspens, sunlight, Native American rain clouds. Since moving to all bio-diesel (yeah!) the new buses sport only the big powerful lion graphic from the logo.

This personal project was developed to honor a life ended-too-soon. Dugald Bremner was a renowned photographer, author, boatman, daredevil, acrobat, musician, jokester, and beloved friend to all he touched. He is still missed to this day.

As a memorial, Julie Sullivan Brace designed a gift box for family and friends that housed a set of cards and a journal featuring the images of this celebrated friend. Mr. Bremner loved to collect mail and other correspondences that had various misspellings of his name: Doodle Breemer was the most memorable. You still live on in our hearts, Doodle.
